Chapter 204 The West Chamber

The little girl disguised as a man looked at the letter and said: I would like to redeem this letter for him.

Brother?Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, forget it.Just now, the little brother broke things to punish evil and promote good, so I sat next to me and didn't take action, so I came to clean up the mess.

My little girl is not persistent: Brother Hong is righteous and wealthy, and I admire him very much.She paused and said, "There will be a date later, and say goodbye."

Zhu Gaoxu also said goodbye to her, turned around and shouted, Check out!

He took a look and saw the two little ladies heading to the theater inside.

When calculating the money, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use the Daming Baochao to settle it. After all, it was printed by their family. But then he realized that the Daming Baochao in Yunnan Prefecture was depreciated and the ratio of the banknote was 50 to 1!

The Ming Dynasty's advanced banknotes seemed to be almost unable to play.

Twenty silos (copper) coins require one thousand pieces of Daming treasure banknotes with a maximum face value!Zhu Gaoxu obviously didn't bring that much, so he had to pay for a silver ingot.

Zhu Gaoxu and others also walked towards the theater, and as soon as they entered, they were shocked by the scene!

It was so crowded inside, and the eyes were full of heads.

The lobby and three sides were already full of floors, and there were still many people standing at the door. As soon as Zhu Gaoxu entered the door, he almost didn't even have a place to stand.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was tall and looked at the stage curiously. There was an old woman standing on it, reciting Bai: The old man’s surname is Zheng, the husband’s surname is Cui, and he was appointed as the prime minister of the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, he was killed due to illness.He only gave birth to a little girl, with the small name Yingying, who was 19 years old, pointed to female workers, and calculated poetry and books, and all...

Although the play is pronounced in white and the usual speech, Zhu Gaoxu still understood it. His husband's surname is Cui... The little girl's little name is Yingying, and he immediately smiled and said: Isn't this "The West Chamber"?

A man next to him said: This is the old actress, Li Louxian, the most popular leading actress in Yunnan Province, has not yet appeared.We have to find a backrest. Li Lou will come on stage first, and we are afraid that someone will be overturned and stepped on it!

So awesome?I really want to meet that Li Louxian in a while.Zhu Gaoxu said.

The man sneered and laughed, "You brother can't even buy the seat, so see Li Louxian?"

Isn’t this name the meaning of “The moon will be the first to get close to the water”?Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

The man didn't understand why, so he stretched out his neck to continue watching the show.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu saw the two little girls just now. The little girls dressed as a man were not too tall yet and were blocked by the people in front of him. It would be useless to put their toes there.

She heard Zhu Gaoxu and others talking and looked here.

Zhu Gaoxu squeezed over and according to her claim just now, "Young brothers love to watch "The West Chamber"?"

The little girl glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and immediately argued: Who said I love watching it?I just want to see Li Louxian!

Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses after a while. The West Chamber is a restricted drama in this era and can teach children bad things. Girls from wealthy families cannot watch... Zhu Gaoxu guessed that her origin may not be simple.

The little girl said again: I can’t see it, forget it!He didn't come if he asked someone to buy a seat.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said: I have a seat. I have something to leave anyway, so why not give it to my little brother.

Ah, is it true?Then why are you so embarrassed... The little girl said no, but her eyes were full of expectations.It seems that the little girl likes this drama very much.

Come with me.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked to the door.

The group was outside the theater gate and saw a middle-aged woman greeting the guests.

Zhu Gaoxu walked up, took out a post, and said to the woman: Your wife gave me this post and said she would leave me a seat. Do you see if it is useful?

The middle-aged woman opened her eyes, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and immediately bowed her knees and said, "Good guest, please guide you."

At this moment, the little girl suddenly said: Huh?Mr. Hong, you are afraid you have given me a pseudonym, Er Meng!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: We are each other.

The little girl said dissatisfied: You didn’t ask me your name, and I didn’t lie to you either.

Zhu Gaoxu said: When we meet, we just act like a play. Why should we be obsessed with things outside the play?

The little girl had to shake her head and smile.

Several people followed the woman up the stairs and came to a private room.

When I walked in, I saw that the place was protruding a little outward, like a semi-enclosed balcony.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up the stage and found that although this place was diagonally facing the stage, it was very close; it was better than sitting in the front row of the lobby. It was very relaxing to sit high without looking up.

Little brother, please.Zhu Gaoxu greeted.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down with the little girl disguised as a man, and Veda, Wang Bin, and the little girl in colorful dresses were all standing.

After a while, several maids came in with teapots and snacks.

Then a middle-aged man walked in and clasped his fists and said: Disturb your good mood, sorry.Below is Xu Cailiu, the big shopkeeper of the Liyuan, who has met the young master.

The shopkeeper stood there, but Zhu Gaoxu ignored it. He turned around and asked the little girl: Do you really want to see Li Louxian?

The little girl looked at Zhu Gaoxu without saying anything.

The big shopkeeper Xu Cailiu said something but received no response. However, he stood there with a smile, looking as if he listened to Zhu Gaoxu with interest.

Zhu Gaoxu turned to Xu Cailiu and said: I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Xu, when Li Lou is free, please come here and say a few words to me, my little brother.Don't affect the opera, so many people are waiting.

Xu Cailiu clasped his fists and said: Obey the order.I won’t disturb you anymore. If you have any questions, please tell the servants here.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

When Xu Cailiu left, the little lady looked at Zhu Gaoxu up and down, and turned her head slightly, "Brother Tai is the master of the Liyuan?" Liyuan is not from the Shen family, your surname is Chen... It seems that it is not right.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke: Is the little brother’s surname Mu?

In an instant, he was really convinced... When the sudden question came, the little lady still kept her face and sat upright.The toast girl standing behind her sold her again, and the toast girl looked shocked.

Brother, tell me, how can I look like my surname?The little girl smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: Haha, if you don’t guess me, I won’t guess you.

Otherwise, let’s watch the show, I don’t want to waste this good seat.The little girl's face was red.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and said: You should watch it slowly. I said before, I will leave first if I have something to do.

The two then said goodbye to each other.

Zhu Gaoxu and others walked out of the private room and someone immediately sent them out.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and told people not to see him off. Then he looked at Wang Bin and Weida, his eyes stayed on the dark-skinned Wang Bin's face, waved to wait for Wang Bin to bow his head, and then whispered: Commander Wang has to do a small thing today, stare at that little girl, and the show ends in a while, look where she has gone.

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said: What the young master told me personally is not a trivial matter, the small one is decided!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and turned around and left the pear garden.

……

Zhu Gaoxu returned to the Han Palace, came to the study room in the front hall, and summoned the chief secretary Qian Xun to meet.

He had asked people to check the details of most civil and military officials in the Han Palace. For example, Qian Xun was a small official left by the Jianwen Dynasty and turned out to be an official in the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

How many sons does Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen have?Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Qian Xun bowed and replied immediately: I replied to the King of Han, and he has four sons.In turn are Geng Xuan, the assistant general of the former army, Geng Xuan, the assistant general of the latter army, Geng Xuan, the junior minister of the Shang Bao Siqing, and Geng Qi, the right Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple.After the Jingnan Dynasty, Geng Xuan, Geng 𤩽 and Geng Xuan were still officials in the capital, and Geng Qi was missing.

Hearing such a smooth answer, Zhu Gaoxu showed a very satisfied expression and asked: Which family is Geng Hao?

This... Qian Xun pondered for a moment, but the lower officials didn't know.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and Qian Xun said: The official is leaving.

After a long time, Wang Bin came back and went to the study to pay homage.

He stepped forward to report: As the prince expected, the two girls were from the Mu Mansion and entered the Mu Mansion through the back door.Looking at their appearance, I was afraid they had sneaked out of Mu's mansion.

oh.Zhu Gaoxu responded, rubbed his forehead with his hand twice, looking thoughtful.

At this time, Wang Bin continued: The last general followed him all the way, and found that there was another person following the last general.The general was afraid that he would lose the two little girls, so he couldn't catch the man... Prince, the Mu family found that we were with them. Is it important?

It doesn’t matter, it just makes Mu Sheng feel that I am not good at visiting.Zhu Gaoxu frowned, but the person who follows you is not necessarily from the Mu family.

Wang Bin said with a puzzled look: Who will follow the last general?

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: How do I know?But Commander Wang didn't say that they had sneaked out, so they might have concealed it from the people in the Mu Mansion.

Wang Bin nodded slightly hesitantly.

Zhu Gaoxu was also confused, but these were all small matters. It doesn’t matter if the Geng family couldn’t afford to make a prodigal son anymore.

...What Zhu Gaoxu is most puzzled now is: Why didn’t Mu Sheng come to meet?Zhu Gaoxu and his prince came to Yunnan. No matter what, the basic etiquette is still necessary?

There are three possibilities: one is that Mu Sheng is not in Yunnan City at all; the second is that he is really sick; the third is that he pretends to be sick and does not want to come to see Yàn’s son... ready to break up and rebel?

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a long time and said: We have to set up a spy office.I dare not do it in the capital. I am targeting the forces here in Yunnan, which are originally the responsibilities assigned by my father.

Commander Wang is my brother who is born in the king and is the most reliable. You are the leader of this yamen... Hou Hai also comes here to serve as a manager; and the old scouts who were responsible for inquiring about military information in the "Jingnan" were all included.I paid the salary myself with the money from the treasury.

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said: The last general will definitely live up to the prince’s confidant!

Don't be blatant, your name is the Royal Palace Guarding Hundred Houses.Zhu Gaoxu said.

He did what he thought of, and the next day he found the mansion and quickly built the stage according to the size of a hundred households.
